She was sentenced to three years in prison, but not before a ski resort, a nuclear power facility and a uranium mine were sabotaged.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><em>[source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/events\/378991115578799\/\">Facebook<\/a>, 2014-Jan-20]<\/em><\/li>\n<li>Tonight at 8 p.m., the <strong>Dryden<\/strong> is screening <strong>Blue Velvet<\/strong> (David Lynch, U.S. 1986, 120 min., 35mm).<br \/>\n<blockquote><p>Perhaps Lynch's best known and most provocative work, Blue Velvet paints a dark, deeply disturbing portrait of idyllic small-town America and probes the lurid evils living beneath its facade. Kyle MacLachlan stars as Jeffrey, a naive college student who, after investigating a mysterious severed ear he finds in a vacant lot, plummets into a depraved world of voyeurism, violence, and vicious sexual appetites. Isabella Rossellini costars as Dorothy Vallens, a shadowy lounge singer tormented by the malevolence and sadomasochism of Frank Booth (Dennis Hopper), with whom Jeffrey finds himself irrevocably entwined. Lynch's talent for creating an engrossing, terrifying atmosphere is on full display here, as Blue Velvet takes hold and refuses to let go.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><em>[source: <a href=\"https:\/\/dryden.eastmanhouse.org\/films\/2013\/12\/blue-velvet-3\/\">Dryden website<\/a>, 2014-Jan-20]<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Friday, January 24<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Tonight and tomorrow at 7:30 p.m., on Sunday at 2 p.m., and Thursday through Saturday next week at 7:30 p.m., the <strong>MuCCC<\/strong> will host performances of <strong>The Lion in Winter<\/strong> by <strong>James Goldman<\/strong>.<br \/>\n<blockquote><p>Grab your ringside seats now for this battle of wits between two of history's great heavyweights&mdash;Henry II and Eleanor of Aquitaine. As old age advances, Henry has his eyes on the future; he wants his kingdom to stay united after his death, but his three sons&mdash;Richard, Geoffrey, and John&mdash;each want to rule. Henry favors the youngest John, while Eleanor favors the eldest, Richard. Middle son Geoffrey hopes to play both ends against each other and come out on top. Henry would like to have another heir by his mistress Alais, but that would only add to the confusion. Uneasy is the head on which the crown lies, and uneasy the truce between a matchless king and queen.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><em>[source: <a href=\"https:\/\/muccc.org\/events\/?p=8373\">MuCCC website<\/a>, 2014-Jan-20]<\/em><\/li>\n<li>Tonight from 7:30 p.m. to 11 p.m. in the <strong>Zeppa Auditorium<\/strong> at the <strong>German House<\/strong> is another in the <strong>Rochester Original Music Series (ROMS)<\/strong> with music by good bar-rock band <!-- 2013-Nov-11: Skylark-good bar-rock\/rock band --><strong>The Heroic Enthusiasts<\/strong>, <strong>Woody Dodge<\/strong>, and <strong>The Dan Eaton Band<\/strong>. <em>[source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/events\/213372265513788?ref=2&amp;ref_dashboard_filter=upcoming\">Facebook<\/a>, 2014-Jan-20]<\/em><\/li>\n<li>Tonight at 8 p.m. and on Sunday at 5 p.m., the <strong>Dryden<\/strong> will screen <strong>La grande bellezza<\/strong> (<em><strong>The Great Beauty<\/strong><\/em>, Paolo Sorrentino, Italy\/France 2013, 142 min., Italian w\/ subtitles, 35mm).<br \/>\n<blockquote><p>Journalist Jep Gambardella (the dazzling Toni Servillo, Il divo and Gomorrah) has charmed and seduced his way through the lavish nightlife of Rome for decades. Since the legendary success of his one and only novel, he has been a permanent fixture in the city's literary and social circles, but when his sixty-fifth birthday coincides with a shock from the past, Jep finds himself unexpectedly taking stock of his life, turning his cutting wit on himself and his contemporaries, and looking past the extravagant nightclubs, parties, and caf&eacute;s to find Rome in all its glory: a timeless landscape of absurd, exquisite beauty.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><em>[source: <a href=\"https:\/\/dryden.eastmanhouse.org\/films\/2013\/12\/the-great-beauty\/\">Dryden website<\/a>, 2014-Jan-20]<\/em><\/li>\n<li>Tonight at the <strong>Lovin' Cup<\/strong> starting around 9 p.m. is <strong>Rochester Chip Night<\/strong> featuring music by <strong>Auxcide<\/strong>, great one-man-band with chiptune vocoder <!-- 2011-Dec-15: Bug Jar-great one-man-band with chiptune vocoder --><strong>BC Likes You<\/strong>, <strong>Shrimps<\/strong>, and good, bright, slick chiptunes band <!-- 2011-Dec-15: Bug Jar-good, bright, slick chiptunes  --><strong>Faking Amnesia<\/strong>. <em>[source: <a href=\"https:\/\/lovincup.com\/happenings\/details.php?id=1810\">Lovin' Cup website<\/a>, 2014-Jan-20]<\/em><\/li>\n<li>The <strong>Little<\/strong> will screen the <strong>Unrated Director's Cut<\/strong> of <strong>Day Of The Dead<\/strong> (George A.

This workshop would be an opportunity for NYC CAIC members to learn more about local organizing efforts in Rochester around solitary and broader issues connected to mass incarceration, to share some about what our campaign is doing, and brainstorm about potential ways of collaboration (specifically for how the statewide campaign could support local efforts and\/or how people in different regions could plug in to the statewide campaign). In addition, we will be discussing strategies in how to engage in local lobbying efforts around solitary confinement and\/or how to join with a lobby day in Albany CAIC is planning in late April.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><em>[source: <a href=\"https:\/\/flyingsquirrel.rocus.org\/node\/1072\">Flying Squirrel website<\/a>, 2014-Jan-20]<\/em><\/li>\n<li>Starting around 9 p.m. at the <strong>Bug Jar<\/strong> is <strong>Buckets<\/strong>, <strong>Cottage Jefferson<\/strong>, <strong>Lamby<\/strong>, <strong>Skirts<\/strong>, and <strong>Cult Classic<\/strong>. <em>[source: <a href=\"https:\/\/bugjar.com\/2013\/11\/rochester-ny-buckets-rochester-return-show-w-cottage-jefferson-lamby-skirts-cult-classic\/\">Bug Jar calendar<\/a>, 2014-Jan-20]<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Monday, January 27<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The <strong>Little Blue Cheese Shop<\/strong> will present a <strong>Discussion on Cheese<\/strong> at the <strong>Highland Branch Library<\/strong> this evening from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m. <em>[source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www3.libraryweb.org\/eventsIndividual.aspx?id=486733\">Monroe County Library website<\/a>, 2014-Jan-20]<\/em><\/li>\n<li>The <strong>Eastman Wind Orchestra<\/strong> performs in <strong>Kodak Hall<\/strong> at <strong>Eastman Theatre<\/strong> tonight starting at 8 p.m. <em>[source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rochester.edu\/Eastman\/calendar\/?event&amp;id=789028&amp;from=27January2014&amp;to=27January2014\">Eastman School of Music calendar<\/a>, 2014-Jan-20]<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Tuesday, January 28<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Tonight at the <strong>Dryden<\/strong> at 8 p.m. is a screening of <strong>A Film Unfinished<\/strong> (Shtikat Haarchion, Yael Hersonski, Germany\/Israel 2010, 88 min., German, Hebrew, Yiddish, Polish w\/ subtitles, DCP).<br \/>\n<blockquote><p>In 1942, the Nazi propaganda machine used film cameras to \"document\" the life of the residents in the Warsaw Ghetto, only months before they engineered the residents' extermination. This footage, an unfinished film, was discovered after the war ended and was endlessly studied as a glimpse into the past of people that were no more. But in the 1980s, an additional reel of the footage was found, a reel that puts into question all assumptions made about the conditions of the ghetto and its inhabitants. As much about film preservation and the truth of what we see as it is about history, this film will make you consider what effect media really has on our lives.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><em>[source: <a href=\"https:\/\/dryden.eastmanhouse.org\/films\/2013\/12\/a-film-unfinished\/\">Dryden website<\/a>, 2014-Jan-20]<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Wednesday, January 29<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The <strong>Eastman Wind Ensemble<\/strong> performs in <strong>Kodak Hall<\/strong> at <strong>Eastman Theatre<\/strong> tonight starting at 8 p.m. <em>[source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rochester.edu\/Eastman\/calendar\/?event&amp;id=789026&amp;from=29January2014&amp;to=29January2014\">Eastman School of Music calendar<\/a>, 2014-Jan-20]<\/em><\/li>\n<li>The <strong>Dryden<\/strong> will screen <strong>Love and Death<\/strong> (Woody Allen, U.S. 1975, 85 min., 35mm) tonight at 8 p.m.<br \/>\n<blockquote><p>Master of parody Woody Allen takes on the entire canon of Russian literature in this hilarious, pseudo-philosophical comedy. Taking cues from Dostoevsky and Tolstoy, the film follows Boris (Allen), a puny aristocrat forced into military service during the Napoleonic Wars, and his never-ending quest for Sonja (Diane Keaton), his star-crossed love. The on-screen chemistry between the two is comedic gold, sparkling with snappy repartee and Allen's self-deprecating neurosis perfectly balanced by Keaton's compassion and intelligence. Although often viewed merely as the forerunner to Annie Hall (which would win Keaton an Academy Award), Love and Death marks a truly funny and uniquely nuanced achievement in the long on (and off) screen relationship between Keaton and Allen.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><em>[source: <a href=\"https:\/\/dryden.eastmanhouse.org\/films\/2013\/12\/love-and-death\/\">Dryden website<\/a>, 2014-Jan-20]<\/em><\/li>\n<li>Starting around 9 p.m. tonight at the <strong>Bug Jar<\/strong> is <strong>Emma Ate the Lion<\/strong> with <strong>Blue Lazerz<\/strong>. <em>[source: <a href=\"https:\/\/bugjar.com\/2013\/12\/rochester-ny-emma-ate-the-lion-w-blue-lazerz-tba-teenset-45-dance-party-to-follow-bands-at-midnight-2\/\">Bug Jar calendar<\/a>, 2014-Jan-20]<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here's what's going on this week:<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2091],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2724","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-jayceland-events"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/jayceland.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2724","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/jayceland.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/jayceland.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jayceland.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jayceland.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2724"}],"version-history":[{"count":12,"href":"https:\/\/jayceland.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2724\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2738,"href":"https:\/\/jayceland.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2724\/revisions\/2738"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/jayceland.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2724"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jayceland.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2724"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jayceland.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2724"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
